Efteling Announces Missie Luminar Suspended Launch Coaster for 2029

Efteling (Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands) has announced plans to open the park’s 7th roller coaster in 2029. Missie Luminar will be a new suspended launch coaster added to the “Island of the Five Senses” area near the park entrance. The 50 Million Euro ($57 million USD) attraction will be themed around natural phenomena, scientific experiments, and 19th-century voyages of discovery. Riders will enter a scientific institute and embark on a mission to break through the light barrier.

“Missie Luminar will be a fantastic addition to our collection of thrill rides. This type of roller coaster is new to Efteling. The top speed reaches 80 km/h, but it may feel even faster,” says Fons Jurgens, CEO of Efteling. “All of this creates excitement from start to finish. It will be a truly unique and distinctive experience, even more so because of its location. Missie Luminar completes the Island of the five Senses themed area. Visitors will see the vehicles racing past as soon as they enter Efteling, setting the tone for their day at the park. We still have a little while to wait, but we’re looking forward to seeing our visitors’ first reactions.”
